U.S. Sen. Ted Cruz introduced the Protecting Internet Freedom Act, which would prevent the Obama administration from giving the Internet away to a global organization that will allow over 160 foreign governments to have increased influence over the management and operation of the Internet.

You and your are housekeeping and are let be A pitta me of what Texas represent you horrific you are shameful you are an embarrassment we do not like you we do not support you we are in first and foremost puts you at what we stand doe against all odds you say our forefathers shame shame shame shame on you
Ahhhh the plot thickens
A mini United Nations sounds a lot less threatening than a lot of mini other things, like a little North Korean leader and any of our own leaders who win through tricking the electoral college or a by a court decision. Mini mini Tekel U Pharsin.
is this satire?
Yea, I really want corporations to be able to throttle smaller websites. Lets get rid of the regulations that keep our ISPs from censoring the content we see. Great job, Cruz! Have fun being the zodiac killer!
Took him three seconds to state a blatant falsehood. Tim Berners-Lee is English and "invented" the internet in Switzerland.
Seriously, Ted, please research what net neutrality even means before making it a campaign issue.
Oh wait, it's the money speaking.
Hello friends. Please take a look at ICANN's policies regarding transparency and accountability in the link below. I believe you will see that Mr. Cruz is painting a false and scary picture of this administrational process. Keep in mind that the process of transferring the administration from US to ICANN, started 18 years ago. This is not Obama's plan 🙂 Please make up your own mind and do not be guided by conspiracy theories. All the best! https://www.icann.org/resources/accountability
FUCK YOU OBAMA THANKS FOR GIVING AWAY THE PEOPLES INTERNET DUMBASS.

And if you want the non bullshit version.
What the fuck happened guys!? It looks like Obama just fucked us all over!
Wow, of all propaganda in the world, America's is most laughable.
The worst of it isn't Russia, China, or Iran getting control. The worst is if countries people otherwise wouldn't object to get control, such as Germany or the UK. Recently, people in these countries have been arrested for Facebook posts they've made in opposition to the importation of Syrian refugees.
Think about that for a second. Before reading that, would you oppose Germany or the UK influencing who can or cannot register a domain name?
Hand over the delegates, Donald.
DAHHHNALD
STOP OBAMA'S TRANSFER OF THE INTERNET! FUCK THE INTERNATIONAL CONTROL OF THE INTERNET! FUCK OBAMA! TELL EVERYBODY YOU KNOW TO STOP OBAMA! CALL 202-224-3121 AND ASK YOUR SENATOR TO VOTE FOR BILL S3034 INTERNET FREEDOM ACT. WE DON'T WANT INTERNATIONAL CONTROLL OF THE INTERNET! URGENT!
DAAAAHNAAALDDD
IT people seem to have no sense of dignity. Cruz is for the most part right.
The UN has expressed a desire to charge taxes on domain registration, and has demanded the installation of deep packet inspection tools on servers. ICANN's registration is the center-point of the web that could enabled global spying and censorship. Ending all your thoughts of privacy online, even with Tor of VPN.
At the SAME time, in 2013, ICANN has expressed desire to further screw over independent investigators by wanting to end free public access to WHOIS. This would be a major blow to online security. It would also damage YouTube, as ICANN WHOIS is one of the best ways to investigate copyfruad on this channel and get false claims lifted.
There is no fraud protection outside the US for online consumers. The US government can enforce upon falsely registered domain names. ICANN is typically the way they do it. Giving that up is a serious blow to consumer protection.
All of this is bullshit. Doing your own research will disprove all of these lies.
Nothing new here. Cruz talking about stuff he doesn't understand, proposing things that can't be done.
Sorry, this is just a bunch of lies. Please inform yourselves before making these statements.
As a system administrator by profession, this video may have just given me cancer. I have never seen such a blatant misunderstanding of what ICANN does. It hurts.
ICANN is the authority on IP address delegation. They ensure that entities are not issued duplicate IPs, which would cause massive network issues for everyone.. They also authorize the creation of new domain extensions (.com, .net, .gov, .xyz, etc.). They "control the internet" in the same way the entity that is making sure you don't get issued a phone number already in use is "controlling the phone systems"
Guys, chill out. ICANN independence has been planned since before GW Bush was in office — and Bush agreed with it. ICANN effectively acts independently already, and if governments like those in "Russia, and China, and Iran" want to censor the Internet, they already can — they already do! ICANN independence won't change this.
Cruz here is likely making this a scary thing to build political capital for himself, but there's very little real fear by anyone actually involved in this whole thing that this is a bad idea. https://newrepublic.com/article/117093/us-withdraws-icann-why-its-no-big-deal
Btw, it's an amazing twist to me that Cruz is the person pushing for this so passionately — when he's the person who took the most hardline stance against carrier II "net neutrality" classification a couple years back. The whole point of net neutrality, of course, is to preserve a free Internet here in the US — especially for the "millions of free businesses" coming online that Cruz talks about at around :14.
And it's ALSO worth pointing out that allowing ICANN to be independent would mean LESS gov't involvement — it's actually, in a way, a free market move. Again, one would assume Mr. Cruz would be in favor of this, if he weren't just spending lots of money to make a fancy hype film building up his own reputation as a tech-savvy vanguard of 21st-century freedoms.
Obama: The gift from HELL that keeps on giving.
I'm not Cruz supporter but this is fucking ridiculous. Why the fuck is Obama doing this???
Ok, so let them take it. We have people working on a "new internet". I can't remember what it's called. They say the old one is antiquated anyway. They're using new technology to build something better. I say we make it a usw, not a www.
Ted Cruz you may be a rat, but for once you're right. we can't let the united nations take away our internet rights.
In other news, Cruz doesn't understand how the Internet works.
why didn't Sen.Ted Cruz mentioned Saudi Arabia as a threat?
isn't this kingdom is an insane religious dictatorship which despise free speech and implemented some sort of religious thought-police?
aren't actually a saudis pulling strings?
they donated pretty large summ to Hillary and set one of their mouthpiece as her advisor?
Aren't the most islamic terrorists sunnis after all?
Still, fully support Cruz's agenda.
I agree with you on this one. Keep up the good fight Zodiac
BAHAHAHAHA THIS IS FUCKIGN HILARIOUS! Everyone who agrees with this not only doesnt understand the creation of the internet, or the UN, or any of the bills and agencies, or etc etc etc…. you know what you all just hear Obama and instantly are against it, sheep gana sheep
What can we do? We can't let this happen!
I hope everyone-conservatives and liberals can unite against ICANN and stop our freedom of speech on the internet from running away.
Ya know Cruz isn't so bad. He means well even if he is a weirdo.
FREEDOM OF SPEECH SAVE THE INTERNET. YOU GO TED CRUZ YOUR OUR VOICE. FIGHT FOR OUR LIBERTY TO PROTECT THE INTERNET. WE WILL STAND FOR CONGRESS AND FIGHT WITH YOU. OBAMA NEEDS TO STOP ALREADY!!!!!
The Internet must remain in American hands. We INVENTED it.
Wouldnt this affect the people outside of america too?
What can we do to stop this?
THANK YOU #TEDCRUZ!!! #MEDIA IS COMPLETELY SILENT ON THIS & WE MUST FIGHT #OBAMA — #BARACKOBABA & #HILLARYCLINTON ARE TRULY #ENEMIES OF #USA!
You're a scumbag and a liar, but for once you're right.
Cruz lies.
No, i refuse to trust anyone who sells out to fucking Hillary clinton.
The Delegates, Donald.
Spread this VIDEO EVERYWHERE!!!!!
Honestly i would love to see Cruz run again, I think hes a very good politician for the people. I just want to see it without the establishment threatening or buying him, whatever it was
This shows how little Ted Cruz knows about the internet. Dumb claims and fear-mongering like this sure makes technocracy appealing because politicians don't know anything about the internet other than it being "a series of tubes", lmao.
I can't frickin' believe I'm saying this but GIT EM TED
Well this is a pack of lies, and it would appear the American public are buying them.
We need to fight this!
